BASIC LAWS OF DISTRIBUTION AND GENESIS OF PSAMMOPHILOUS COLEOPTERA OF PONTO-CASPIAN REGION IN THE CASE OF TENEBRIONIDAE AND SCARABAEOIDEA (INSECTA: COLEOPTERA)

Юг России: экология, развитие, 2014
The paper deal with migration ways of psammophilous Tenebrionidae and Scarabaeoidea of Ponto-Caspian region since the Pliocene. Reconstruction of genesis of the fauna is made after analyses of contemporary distribution.

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

The impact of some inorganic substances on change in body mass of Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) larvae in a laboratory experiment

Folia Oecologica, 2018
Addition of low concentrations of metal ions to the diet of saprophagous insects can impact on their metabolism over a short period of time, causing an increase or decrease in their body mass.

Notes on taxonomy and distribution of the subgenus Heloponotus Reitter, 1922, genus Odocnemis Allard, 1876 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), with a key to species and subspecies [PDF]

Кавказский энтомологический бюллетень
A brief review of the subgenus Heloponotus Reitter, 1922 (genus Odocnemis Allard, 1876) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini) is presented. This group was probably formed on the Crimean Peninsula, since the high diversity and endemism are observed here ...

Pests for Dinner: Dietary Composition of Insectivorous Bats in a Fragmented Tropical Dry Forest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insectivorous bats are key predators of a wide array of arthropods, including species that act as disease vectors and pests, yet such ecological roles remain poorly studied in tropical regions. In this study, we aimed to describe the diet of five insectivorous bat species from the genera Balantiopteryx, Myotis, Mormoops, and Pteronotus inhabiting a ...

Phenotypic Matching Without Genetic Correlation in Dimorphic Legs of Bulb Mites

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We tested for male dimorphism in the weapon‐like third legs and putative compensatory fourth legs of the bulb mite Rhizoglyphus echinopus. Although males with thicker third legs tended to have longer fourth legs, neither trait predicted fighting success, and the correlation was phenotypic but not genetic.

Thermophilization over space but not time among communities of ground‐dwelling arthropods in a desert city

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Thermophilization of communities, or shifts in composition favoring more warm‐adapted species, over time and space is a common response to warming from global climate change and localized effects of land‐use change. However, the interplay between community thermophilization driven by temporal warming in global climate and spatial warming in ...

Relic and endemic elements in the fauna of tenebrionid beetles (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) of the Big Caucasus

Юг России: экология, развитие, 2015
Occurrence and distribution of endemit and relic fauna of the Big Caucasus are considered in the paper. The greatest role in occurence of xerophilic endemits of the Northern Caucasus (genera Calyptopsis, Hedyphanes, Caenoblaps, Nalassus) have subarid ...

RNAi‐mediated gene silencing of a 26S proteasome subunit increases mortality of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 1066-1078, January 2026.
We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.

Plant functional traits affect invertebrate predator diversity via bottom‐up effects in a deadwood‐based food web

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 128-139, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bottom‐up effects play a critical role in shaping community structure and trophic interactions within detritus‐based food webs. Coarse deadwood supports high biodiversity and contributes to detrital food webs during its decomposition process.
